The east side of the road drained and the state ditch was backed up but on Monday it was dry. They cleaned out the end of the tube. He said they will take out more on the east side and he talked to the landowner and he did not have a problem with that they have solved some of the problems. Sorensen stated that the county is doing as much as they can it is flat and hard to get the water to drain. It is very flat in that area. He showed the pictures of the South Locust Bridge and noted the expansion joints because of salt and there is a crack on the center pier. They will eventually have to rehab this bridge but to do that they will have to take of the top cap and repair the beams. There are pockets on the deck. They will not have to do an environmental work. This could be part of the bipartisan projects. Don is asking for authorization to hire an engineer to look at the Wood River Bridge and get it started. We need to have a plan and a design and have it ready to go. The South Locust Bridge would be the second project and the fracture critical bridge south of Alda and the Wood River Bridge. He said on these 3 will be really close to $3.2 million he also noted that they could partner with another county. Hamilton County is looking at a bridge and they could partner with them. Don said the fracture critical bridge is on the 1 year plan the Wood River bridge is a federal route so there would be no BRO funds but he may re-inspect the fracture critical bridge and it might be eligible for funds. 4
